Business
Receipt Template
Proof that money arrived, two to a page so the payer keeps one and you keep one.
Four steps
How to print a receipt
- 1
Start from this form
Opens on the receipt: Receipt no, Date, Received from, Paid by, a table and the rest.
- 2
Put your own heading on it
Replace "Receipt" with a name, a business or a date range.
- 3
Set the row height
5 rows at 6 mm fits more in; 14 mm suits a form filled in by hand.

The receipt number is the line to get right.
Who prints this
Anyone taking payment without a card machine: a tutor, a market stall, a landlord taking rent in cash, a tradesperson paid on the day. The person paying usually wants it more than you do, which is why it is two to a page.
The field that decides whether it works
The receipt number. A receipt with no number cannot be found again, and the first time you need to prove a payment happened is the first time you discover that. Number them in one unbroken sequence, not per customer.
Why it is laid out this way
Two slips to a page, each carrying the same number, so one is torn off and one stays in the book. The number sits at the top of both halves, which is what makes the pair findable again a year later.
What is on the sheet
6 sections, in this order: Receipt no, Date; Received from, Paid by; a table; totals; Signed, Date; a note. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 5 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the receipt alongside 3 other forms on the invoice and receipt forms page.
